About Shalion
Shalion is a data and insights-driven company that serves world-class manufacturers and brands globally. Through our Digital Shelf Optimization, Retail Media, and Food Service Aggregators solutions, we provide innovative tools for e-commerce monitoring. At Shalion, we empower brands to make smarter business decisions in eCommerce by delivering actionable data and insights on online product prices, availability, share of search, and more. We operate across 1000+ e-retailers in 60+ countries, serving industry giants such as Heineken, Lego, Danone, Nestlé, Diageo, and JDE. As a leader in data intelligence, we specialize in gathering, analyzing, and applying proprietary artificial intelligence to deliver relevant data and monitoring tools, helping our clients maximize their e-commerce performance.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will join our Data Science team and work on advanced analytics problems at the core of our product, such as measuring the real impact of brands' actions (retail media campaigns, promotions, pricing or availability changes) on their sales. You will work with very large datasets collected daily across 1000+ e-retailers in 60+ countries. We are looking for someone with strong analytical judgement and a good understanding of causal methods, who cares about getting a reliable answer into the product more than about the most sophisticated model. You will work close to the business and product teams, so explaining results clearly matters as much as producing them.

•Fluent English & Spanish.
•(Bonus) Experience in e-commerce, retail media, marketing measurement or CPG.
